I wasn't in on the Twilight Saga phenomenon. I looked at the book, and asked my brother what it's about. He said it was pretty famous, this book. It has gathered quiet a fandom. Well, I've never even heard about it. Pretty unusual when he knows more about a book than I do. When I asked about the story, he said this human girl fell in love with a vampire. I forgot what my reaction was, word-wise, but that premise didn't interest me enough to buy it.
Then this poster came out with the movie, and I decided I wanted to watch. Good looking girl, good looking guy - I gotta watch the movie. So I did, and my impression was:
Watched Twilight. Feel like I need to fan myself all-movie-long, the cinema's air-conditioning not withstanding. ... The romance was intense -
Was I, then, an instant recruit to the fandom? Not really. I was certainly smitten with Mr. Cullen, and I wanted to buy the boxed set books, but somehow I didn't. I made a point to watch all the movies, though, but I only bought the first book years later, after all the movies came out. I was looking for a good read, and figured the book is usually better than the movie, and I like the first one best, so I know I'm in for a treat. The second and third movies didn't make sense to me, so I never bothered. But when I found Breaking Dawn on sale I bought it, mostly for the 'Part One' fun of the wedding and honeymoon.
Maybe I only like the movies with Bella's Lullaby in it. The enchanting soundtrack by Carter Burwell is, to, er, live forever for.
